bits and pieces of life

last wednesday at work..one of the lessons for the education programme at the indian primary school at the plantation

one of the little experiments for the students..using celery stick and coloured dye to show the process of transpiration


control..celery sticks in plain water

set 1..celery sticks in blue coloured dye

the leaves of the control. normal green

leaves of set 1..the leaves turning blue

....and more blue. lovely..

my point is the sign board..but just nice there was a kingfisher just there..black-capped kingfisher? my guess

how the sky looked like by the time we finished everything and returned to uni

the seed of the chinese lantern plant (Physalis alkekengi). the white heart shape is natural, which makes the seed looking so cute...and no, i didnt turn so crazy until i draw a heart shape at the seed hahaaa..thats what one of my friends said when i showed her the seed

Stop and stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there

And you'd give anything to get what's fair

But fair ain't what you really need

Oh, can you see what I see

last week

still thinking about the field trip last weekend. the ecology field trip. finally had the chance to sit down, go through all the photos and post them up. the trip was quite ok..but the mosquitoes were TERRIFYING. they came in SWAMPS. BIG SWAMPS. all these years the condition has never been so bad before. i guess it was just because of the rain....just our luck. started to love my camera more..can zoom all the way to take the pictures of the lovely birds :) and i realise the significance of a tripod..especially for bird shooting. my hands are already not very steady, plus they were so tired after carrying all the meters to the various sites, they just trembled horribly on the second morning when i was trying to shoot the birds. but seriously, i have no complains for the workload, because all the other 3 helpers around were all guys. they worked so much harder than me (well at least for 2 of them, the other one i dont know...). thank god that they were around

some pictures...more on facebook

the monkey on the bird watching tower that i went on the first morning

wanted to take the long shadow caused by the sunshine..failed attempt

a corner of the place where we stayed

right in front of our dorm

grey heron

bye..

at the entrance of the mangrove

beauty by the lake

great egret?

was quite busy at the mangrove..helping the students who got stucked in the mangrove mud, measuring this and that..finally reached the last site which was at the end of the mangrove. the sky was so so blue that i just had to take a shot of it before i left, eventhough my hands were covered with mud. only had time to take one shot though..just one shot

went up to Bukit Melawati for the sunset again...but there was nothing much to watch. thanks to the rain. so sad..

lovely couple

had to leave the hill because of the rain. haihz..

second morning at the bird watching tower

nice sunrise

little monkeys playing on the tree

great weather at the Gombak forest

the remaining of the 300-year-old tree that fell down..due to old age. in the past we were always amazed by its height, its huge trunk, its age...and now..thats it..

my supervisor Dr Cathy, and my labmate Tse Yuen

after the field trip..life carries on, despite all the tiredness, sore, whatever. emotinally very unstable..stressed because of the invetebrate identification, tired because of the field trips, plus the thesis..JUST CRAZY. hopefully next week will be a better week, seriously hope so

too tired

very very tired....done with 2 field trips. one more tomorrow.

fun, but tiring...one trip after another is really exhausting. by the end of the day, my brain will be quite messed up already. all i want is to sleep.

tiredness messes up my mind. think a little too much...grumpy..sad. tiredness makes me crazy

everything will be fine tomorrow. sleeping is the best medicine now

march

a little belated birthday gift from my junior. so sweet :)

entering march. time really flies so fast..finally finishing the main work for my boss. hopefully from next week onwards i can concentrate on my thesis, which still doesnt have a single word. still have lots of catch up to do in the lab..have to start reading up for the identification of those invertebrates..so much to do, yet i m not very stressed hahaa. good or bad...dont know

field trip month..this coming weekend and the following weekend i will be going to the forests which i have been to these few years. this time the main difference is...i m paid. despite the fact that i like field trips, if possible i wouldnt want to go for these field trips anymore. i have lost count of how many times i have been to these places. too much memories. painful.

i watched Kung Fu Dunk last thursday. nothing special, except some good looking guys. save your money for another movie

i like him. cool with killer smile..but i realise he only looks cool in this movie, the real person is just so-so

Bo-Lin Chen (陈柏霖) in Kung Fu Dunk

hmmm..i am a little too direct in this post hahaa. a bit mean. sorry..i was a direct scholar. (the old lame joke. still remember?)

some pictures taken during my last inverterbrate sampling at the plantation. nice sunset on the way back to KL.

which one do you like most?

happy mode these days, should post something depressed then only looks more like my post right hahaha...this song is quite nice. sad enough

Show Luo 罗志祥 我不会唱歌

you will only understand how pain it can be if you have this type of similar experience. 想见不能见最痛

how long can this happy mode last? i wonder..
